Heart Throbs #120 - Neal Adams cover

Neal Adams

Heart Throbs v1 #120, 1965 - One of the most disturbing romance covers, a man threatens to kill his girlfriend out of sheer jealousy. Neal Adams' cover captures the sheer brutality of the scene. The reddish color palette reinforces the danger and potential violence, but doesn't extend into the masthead / trade dress. Even the interior story doesn't take it quite as far. This is Adams' only work on this series, whose realistic approach makes it all the more visceral. Other artists in this issue include Dick Giordano and Mike Sekowsky. This is 1 of 1 Heart Throbs issues by Adams.
